Are you overlooking the fact that many theists seem to believe in god on a feeling or intuitional basis? Having no rational basis for belief in god does not stop belief in god. The fact that they believe in gods anyway is what makes them theists. Having no reasonable basis for such a belief does not disqualify them from holding beliefs.

Sure, probably more than one. But "atheist" will do. Atheists do not believe in atheism, they just don't believe in gods. That is all there is to it. Some atheists also hold a positive belief that gods don't exist. As you've been hearing there are names for that, but "atheist" alone doesn't include the positive belief that gods do not exist.
